Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Mikail Kamara at pick No. 116 regardless, 38 picks early.

However the rest shakes out, Scott at that price is a win they earned. It is not that Johnson is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 12th pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omar Cooper Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Chris Johnson in the 43rd overall pick leaves interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
No edge and no loss on Ted Hurst in pick No. 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in slot 90 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bud Clark
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Bud Clark while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Keionte Scott adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mikail Kamara in the 116th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drew Allar well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Value said wait; Aamil Wagner in No. 151 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fa'alili Fa'amoe this early at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Nice patience on Thaddeus Dixon, who had no business lasting to pick No. 238. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
